Custom Resolution Utility.

hmm.. it should be there.. but You can enable a custom resolution pretty easy. That's what I do with my old 60hz monitors ! (my tv can do 137hz).. for basic, nvidia/customize then enable a custom resolution.. or " Custom Resolution Utility aka CRU and just program a few. very simple

May I know what are the possible solutions to this without replacing the 5D10R41286 LCD Display, as well as the maximum range of the monitors refresh rate at 1920x1080 using CRU. https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU

I've recently went down this rabbit hole myself as well and found Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) [1] to be an efficient EDID editor.

What I've Tried So Far: I've tried to download CRU (https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU) and I have tinkered a bit with one of the monitor parameters. I have faced some black screens and I have reverted all the changes. I have seek help online, but none of the solutions seems to work for me. Both monitors are connected using DisplayPort, and they work fine individually with their native resolutions and refresh rates.

To overcome this limitation, I downloaded the CRU tool and created a custom resolution of 1440p @ 59.9Hz, and everything started working perfectly! At 1440p, the studio display looked just right in terms of scaling, and it was sharp enough for everyday use. I also tested some gaming, and the 3070 performance was more than sufficient; 1440p at ultra settings consistently stayed at 60Hz!

I downloaded custom resolution utility here https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU , theres also another website https://custom-resolution-utility.en.lo4d.com/windows IDK which one is legit, is custom resolution malware? or is it safe? for all of you saying just use the Nvidia or AMD settings im on a laptop and my Nvidia control panel doesnt have Resolution tab

I had the exact same issue. Just use this Custom Resolution Utility - https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU - You will want to create a custom resolution that is 2880x1660. You can use this to figure out how to use the software (scroll down to A Little Outside Assistance...) - https://www.alphr.com/set-custom-resolution-windows-10/

By default, Steam stores these shaders at /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/ where each directory is named after the relevant game’s Steam app ID. (For example, 1551360 is the app ID for Forza Horzion 5, whose shader cache takes up 8.9 gigabytes on my Steam Deck!) I wouldn’t really recommend deleting these caches, but you can use tools like Shader Cache Killer or CryoUtilities or Storage Cleaner for Decky to better manage these shaders– or just uninstall the relevant games that take up too much space. There’s tons of YouTube videos out there that can help you with this.

To clear them out you need special programs (careful, when clearing out compatdata on games, as those are the fake windows folders (one per game) also savefiles are stored there, back them up, if they arent cloud synced, also dont delete a compat folder of a random unnamed small thing, because that might be the protons versions compatdata folder, and doing that would ruin the functionality of that entire proton versiion until and uninstall reinstall of that proton version) like https://github.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Shader-Cache-Killer

if u need clean cache after gaming session try it

Last but not least, some games break, after you change proton versions via force compatibility - they are in the vast minority but it happens. In which case before switching to a new proton version its also recommended to kill compatdata for that game (can be done via https://github.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Shader-Cache-Killer or CryoUtilities. Make sure to only kill them for the game, and not for unknown or all uninstalled games - as if a mishap happens there and you kill the compatdata folder for an entire Proton install, that version is then borked for every game - so dont.)

Otherwise: Shadercachekiller is helpfull: https://github.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Shader-Cache-Killer
